Starting to drop

First picture of fawn, sort of

Will keep an eye out, but I usually don't start seeing them for another 2-3 weeks.

The gestation (time from fertilized egg to birth) is 201 days.  So If a doe was impregnated on Oct 15 then she should drop a fawn(s) on May 3.

That’s not the norm however Strat. Majority are bred later in Oct, and early November. 
Which corresponds with Greybeards observations. 
with the weather over the last week or so, any early fawns would have a hard time surviving.

Yeah, I know but I was stating  what the earliest possible time for breeding was and then adding the 201 days.  Peak rut is like 11/7-11/15 so a lot of does will drop in late May early June.  I start seeing fawns in mid May in Monmouth county.

i hope this cool wet weather changes by then or we're going to see some fawn losses.

Someone posted over a week ago of a fawn being born.

There was a lot of early rutting activity in mid-October this past year.
